MOVIE STAR!!! Gorgeous! Starred in Iron Man III. Have all relevant documentation and correspondence with Iron Works Production 3, LLC and production company's Picture Car Coordinator John Armstrong. The exterior is visually stunning! And its original! Have color copy of original check from Iron Works Productions 3, LLC, No. 004043, drawn on Citibank N.A. 787 west 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071. Was used as the "The Masters" limo. Probably the nicest preserved most beautiful 1982 Silver Spur in the Southeastern United States. Also have all the original owners documents, manuals, and maintenance records all lovingly preserved in a beautiful official Rolls-Royce leather bound book. Even today I have learned more information regarding the car, and I know there are people out there who are insatiably curious. I also happen to personally think the car is worth WAY more than $50,000.00, regarding both its Movie Star past, its ridiculously low miles, and its ABSOLUTELY ORIGINAL condition. The paint, chrome, and interior have never been restored, or redone, its all original!There are reasons for that as I learned just this morning July 9th. On the other hand I am not a car mechanic or expert, BUT I am definitely a serious enthusiast with a background in exotics and an official of the SCCA (Pit Steward) all the way back to 1973. I worked for the US Navy for 32 years as a technical expert. Eleven years was active duty and twenty one of those years was as civilian technical expert. Ten of those years I spent as a civilian was as a US Navy technical expert to the Egyptian Navy. I can fix anything! I had a terrible heart attack while serving in Egypt, I now live in a nursing home, and discovered the car sitting in a used car lot, while passing in the nursing home bus. I stopped the bus and talked to the owner of the car lot and asked about the Rolls, he said it was his personal car but had not run in years, something on it was broken. He didn't know what, he also mentioned that it had been in the movie Iron Man III, and produced the paperwork you see here. The car lot owners two mechanics were too chicken to tackle the Rolls even as it sat there years. I asked the owner foolishly if I could try to fix it for him for free. He took me up on the offer and I finally got the car working, a bad fuel pump at the rear of the car, plus a bad starter relay. It also needed about three and a half quarts of transmission fluid. It runs like a swiss watch, rides wonderfully, I must admit I have never been so impressed with a car before. I started the car once and got distracted and when my attention returned I thought, --nuts it didn't start, ---- but it was running, at idle! It was so silent and vibrationless that I thought it hadn't started. WOW! By the way I get nothing not even a commision for the sale of this vehichle, just the joy of fixing it and doing an old man a good deed. I have congestive heart failure and an implanted defibrillator, if my cardiologist knew I was working on this car he would have a fit. I worked under the car for a week up on jackstands and hydraulic floor jacks, ouch. The car was bought new in 1982 by a little old lady from New York state who lived in West Palm Beach, Florida. As it turns out a very rich little old lady. She died sometime in the 1980's and her estate went into probate, which lasted for 14 years! For that entire 14 years the Rolls Royce sat in the back of her garage undiscovered. Once probate was closed, the new owners of the property decided to bulldoze the existing house and garage. Fortunately, someone checked the garage before the bulldozers reduced the garage to rubble. The new owners of the property contacted the probate lawyer in NY City who had handled the estate and they delegated a partner in Charleston, SC to handle it. One of the men in the Charleston, SC law office decided to buy it from the estate, and he owned it for three months. He then auctioned it here in Charleston to the current owner, so there has been three owners! It has never been in an accident or even a fender bender, as I said ALL the paint and chrome are ORIGINAL. Basically, the current owner hung on to it for the fun of it and could never find a buyer in the Summerville/Charelston area, although he did try. At one point one of the owners employees put the car on E-Bay two or three years ago, asking at that time a ridiculous price for it. Iron Works Productions at that time was filming Iron Man III in North Carolina, and needed a suitable car for the villian to drive, "The Master". Iron Works Productions contacted the current owner, I am not sure how, because the current owner, basically can't use a computer. In the end Iron Works Productions rented the car for a few days in North Carolina for the movie. Shortly, after its movie appearrance the owner was giving an employee a ride in it and ran out of gas. Unfortunately, they didn't realize the rear mounted fuel injection pump would continue to run with a dry fuel tank if the ignition key was left in run. After, finally realizing they needed to put gas in the car the fuel pump had already been destroyed. They had it towed back to the lot and it sat there for years until I came along. The car is completely original, and definitely actually worth way more $50,000.00 dollars! Its interesting early history, movie history, and its originality make it one of a kind. Someone please be serious and we will come to an arrangement on sale of the car. With of course every penny going to the owner, he has way too many friends lately that really weren't. And for the insatiably curious, yup, thats the motor home I cleaned the rats out of in February, 2014. I realize that there are alot of fluff pictures here and I will remove and add more of the car, but the insatiably curious have I hope been satisfied. If more satisfaction is required I have contacted my hospital and found that they can provide my medical records in 5 days regarding the time I was admitted to the hospital while working on this car. Further, I have a considerable library of pictures from my ten years in Egypt which I could provide if requested. I also included pictures of the nursing home bus and the driver I discovered the car with out front of my nursing home. Yes that is also the nursing home bus in the parking lot of the car lot where I found the car. I included pictures of my pacemaker/defibrillator and pictures of the seventeen pills a day I take to control my congestive heart failure. There are also pictures of my back and elbows from crawling in the gravel underneath the car to fix it, but I left those out. Also pictures of where I worked on it, thats a a book all by itself. I'd love to take the silly stuff off and give you more pictures of the car, -- just ask. As you might guess the nursing home staff/management has taken a dim view of my activities and admonished me not to undertake these types of projects in the future bacause of its adverse effect on my physical health. On the other hand, the nursing home staff/management were amazed at the degree of detail required to be taken seriously here at E-Bay. I will attempt today the 10th of July to find out the name of the little old lady in West Palm Beach, Florida. I was raised a southwestern Minnesota farmboy, a slight exaggerration, as my father was a physician at the Mayo Clinic, but we did live WAY out in the country. Rochester, Minnesota is also home to one of the largest Amish communities in the United States, and I must admit although not Amish I have adopted much of their worldview. That we are placed here to help and love one another, this often gets me into trouble due to naivete. So I am not the greatest salesman, but I am terribly sincere. Remember, life should always be fun, but its not always a game. |

Over 10 years of research went into the Rolls-Royce Spectre EV
Mon, May 22 2023Rolls-Royce's first series-produced electric model, the 577-horsepower Spectre, made its debut in October 2022. Electrification suits the British luxury brand well, as its clients primarily prefer a smooth and quiet ride over a deep exhaust note that sends chills down your spine. But the company's top executive told Autoblog that finding the right path to the EV segment required over a decade's worth of research. The electric 102EX prototype from 2011 helped blaze this path. It wasn't approved for production, but it showed Rolls-Royce what to do. "We never intended at that time that we would bring [the 102EX] to the market," company boss Torsten Muller-Otvos told me on the sidelines of the 2023 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance. "I joined Rolls-Royce in 2010, and I was always in the belief that we need to look into alternative propulsions for the brand." Rolls-Royce is part of the BMW Group, and this practice is common throughout the company: BMW and Mini experimented with electric prototypes at that time as well, and the iX5 presented in 2023 will bolster the firm's hydrogen research. Rolls-Royce learned several lessons from the 102EX project. One was to simply keep on keeping on. "One clear learning from all of our clients worldwide is to make sure that it is a Rolls-Royce first and an electric car second, not the other way around. [The Spectre] smells like a Rolls-Royce, it feels like a Rolls-Royce, and it sounds like a Rolls-Royce — [that means that] there is no sound, obviously. [There is] no funky dashboard, huge screen, or whatever. That would not be us," he continued. Customers also told Rolls-Royce not to make a car defined by superlatives. These buyers aren't concerned about having the longest driving range or the quickest acceleration time, largely because they already have a variety of different cars in their fleet plus access to private jets. This also explains why many Rolls-Royce models aren't used as long-distance cars in spite of a powerful V12 engine and a spacious interior. "It was clear that we don't need to be number one with outrageous range; a range of [about 310 miles] is totally sufficient for our clients. [The EX project] also gave us the right logic behind battery size, what we need to do in terms of body shape, and what the car should look like. It's a very fine balance between range, the size of the battery, and what kind of compromises you suddenly get into the entire design of the car. I'm going to say we learned a lot.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Zenith takes assembly line with it
Tue, May 17 2016Rolls-Royce is phasing out the Phantom Coupe and Drophead Coupe. But before it does, the luxury automaker is, as promised, building a few final examples that actually take parts of the assembly line with it. Called the Zenith Collection, these special-edition two-door Phantoms feature a number of unique upgrades to set it apart, and the most intriguing one is right there in the dashboard. That's where a component from the Phantom's assembly line in Goodwood is housed in a polished, laser-engraved aluminum case with the kind of ornamentation you might otherwise find on a high-end shotgun. Naturally, that's not all there is to the Zenith editions. They also feature special paintjobs, laser-etched armrests, machined aluminum cupholders, and a trunk fitted with a custom picnic basket, and mini-bar fridge for cooling champagne. Rolls will only make 50 examples, and they've all been spoken for already. Expect the factory to offer a similar special on the Phantom sedan, orders for which are now being taken before production ends for good. Eventually there'll be a new model line to replace the Phantom – one that promises to be lighter and more advanced, but no less luxurious than the outgoing model. But in the meantime, high-end customers will have to suffice with the Ghost, Wraith, and Dawn. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

PHANTOM ZENITH COLLECTION "As we begin to write a bold new chapter in Rolls-Royce history, I am delighted to present a Bespoke Collection that so elegantly celebrates two of the world's rarest and most celebrated luxury goods; Phantom Drophead Coupe and Phantom Coupe. Phantom Zenith Collection motor cars speak of the marque's unrelenting commitment to setting and advancing the standard by which all other luxury goods are judged." Torsten Muller-Otvos, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. From its foundation 112 years ago, the story of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has been defined by a restless commitment to setting and raising the standard by which all other luxury goods are judged. On January 1 2003, this philosophy was realised emphatically with the handover of the first seventh generation Phantom to its customer at the newly established Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England.
Check out King Charles III's $17.6 million car collection
Fri, May 5 2023King Charles III's coronation will take place in England on May 6, and being crowned a monarch comes with a long list of perks with four wheels. He will gain full access to the Royal Family's fleet of cars, which is valued at about GBP14 million (approximately $17.6 million). The two most expensive cars in the collection are nearly identical: they're a pair of Bentley State Limousine models (pictured) built for Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III's mother, in 2002. Only two units were made, and they're both part of the Royal Family's fleet, so they're difficult to put a value on; it's not like one is going to end up listed on your favorite auction site anytime soon. British company Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, which compiled the list, estimates that each armored, 245-inch long sedan is worth at least GBP10,000,000 (roughly $12.6 million). Dropping below the eight-digit threshold, the second-most-valuable car in the Royal Family's fleet isn't really a car. It's the Gold State Coach, which Matchbox recently released a 1/64-scale replica of, and its value is estimated at GBP1.6 million (about $2 million). At 275 inches long it's even bigger than the Bentley limousine and it weighs about 9,000 pounds. It's 261 years old and designed to be pulled by eight horses, and has been part of every coronation since 1831. The rest of the Royal Family's vehicles are relatively mundane. There's a 1965 Aston Martin DB6 Volante that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip, bought for King Charles III on his 21st birthday. It's worth GBP1 million (about $1.2 million). The collection also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom VI (about $627,000), a Bentley Bentayga (about $201,000), a Land Rover Range Rover long-wheelbase Landaulet ($133,000), a Jaguar XE (about $41,000), and a Land Rover Defender ($38,000). "Luxury cars have long been associated with the monarch and King Charles III, in particular, is known for his fondness of motor vehicles. His impressive collection features sentimental value with motors passed down from his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to cars bought for him by his parents," explained Keith Hawes, the director of Nationwide Vehicle Contracts, in an interview with CBS News. Being at the head of a car-making nation's royal family also comes with drawbacks: Every vehicle in King Charles III's fleet is British.
